The Twinkle Has Gone

The Twinkle Has Gone

Twinkle twinkle little star

My mother always sang that to me

And many time I looked through my window

And prayed to the brightest star in the sky

Now, I look in the sky

And the stars have changed

The twinkle my mother told me about is gone

The stars are just spots of light

Like light bulbs hanging in the sky

I still pray to them as I have for years

But the magic is gone

Maybe there were so many wishes

So many people asking the stars for something

They just became tired

And the twinkle was lost to all of us

But the wishes will keep being said

The stars will hear more and more

Let’s just hope they will remain in the sky

And our children will still hear that song

The one that made me appreciate what the stars had

And what they will have again
